Spacecom has announced a partnership to provide satellite capacity for permanent SNG (satellite news gathering) services for what it describes as “one of Africa’s largest public broadcasters”.

Globecast is providing a long-term solution for the unnamed broadcaster and will utilise Spacecom’s AMOS-7 Africa KU-band beam.

Provision of the service began in September 2018.

Spacecom said its satellite’s capabilities allow the broadcaster to uplink HD-on-the-move all within one beam that covers the entire Southern African region.
